Juneteenth TechNYC™ @ LevelUP Day,

About the event

Juneteenth Tech™ is a convening of Black tech leaders, influencers, and supporters of the Black tech community during Juneteenth celebrations to discuss and present solutions to the racial technology gap. 

In 2024, Juneteenth Tech™ held its inaugural conference at Medgar Evers College and it was amazing!

We are excited to announce its 2025 partnership with The Brooklyn Public Library LevelUP Program! LevelUP is a work advancement program of the Brooklyn Public Library designed to help Black women get to the next stage professionally and build wealth.

On June 21, 2025 Juneteenth Tech™  will host their annual day of discussion and programming in the S. Stevan Dweck Cultural Center at BPL’s Central Library with LevelUP Day- a career and resource fair being held within the out coves and atriums. 

We are expecting 200 people to attend the conference (free & required registration) and over 400 people to attend the LevelUP Career and Resource fair (open to the Brooklyn Public Library patrons & visitors).

The day concludes with a private reception featuring key sponsor executives, community leaders, selected media and members of the community at BKLYN Commons.
